I got to share this with a student today who was feeling down on himself because of his dyslexia. He was SO excited to know that a person with dyslexia could do amazing things like this! Then he wanted to read to me! A WIN!!! #PKVProud

YES! Sometimes we expect quick decoding skills too soon. I try to remember that a caterpillar only becomes a butterfly through struggle! #PKVProud

Highly recommend this book for PreK-1st grade teachers. Building a child's oral language is crucial for developing readers and writers. #PKVProud

I love this! School IS a work day for our kiddos. They should not have to take work home as well. Let them play!

I am so thankful that many school districts are becoming more aware. When we know better, we can do better! #PKVProud
